Abstract

One of the eminent researchers in the field of Ottoman economic thought, Sabri F. Ülgener attempted to understand, mainly drawing upon the Weberian theory, why capitalism did not emerge in the Ottoman Empire and society. While Weber focuses on Protestant ethics as the predominant factor in explaining the emergence of modern capitalism in Europe; Ülgener looks for the traces of a quasi-Protestant ethics in the Ottoman society with an emphasis on its economic mentality. Consequently, he concludes that the Ottoman society failed to develop such mentality. In his studies on economic mentality, Ülgener catches the attention of researchers particularly with his methodology, resources and concepts. He drew upon the interpretive method, and made use of literary genres comprising the ahlâk (ethics) and nasihat (advice) literatures as well as poetry of the period, rather thanarchivalmaterials.Asfarastheconceptsareconcerned,heextensivelyusedWesternconceptssuchas rationality and Middle Ages, while he also adopted notions such as economic ethics-economic mentality, to which he himself lent new meanings. The present study is intended to present a review of Ülgener’s works on economic mentality. It dis- cusses from a critical point of view his resources and concepts as well as the consistency and accuracy of his conclusions.

Özet

Osmanl ı dönemi iktisat zihniyetine dair önde gelen ara ş t ı rmac ı lardan biri olan Sabri F. Ülgener, temelde Max Weber’in teorisine ba ğ l ı kalarak kapitalizmin niçin Osmanl ı devlet ve toplumunda ortaya ç ı kmad ı ğ ı n ı ara ş t ı rm ı ş t ı r. Weber modern kapitalizmin Avrupa’da ortaya ç ı kmas ı ndaki en önemli etken olarak Protestan ahlâk ı na vurgu yaparken, Ülgener de Osmanl ı dönemi zihniyetine e ğ ilerek Protestan- l ı k türü bir ahlâk ı n Osmanl ı toplumundaki izlerini sürmü ş tür. Netice itibar ı yla Ülgener, bu türden bir zihniyetin Osmanl ı toplumunda ortaya ç ı kmad ı ğ ı sonucuna ula ş m ı ş t ı r. Ülgener, zihniyet meselesiyle ilgili çal ı ş malar ı nda yöntemi, faydaland ı ğ ı kaynaklar ve kulland ı - ğ ı kavramlarla dikkat çekmi ş tir. Ülgener, anlay ı c ı yöntemden hareket etmi ş , ar ş iv kaynaklar ı yerine dönemin ahlâk, nasihat ve ş iirlerini ihtiva eden edebî türlerden faydalanm ı ş t ı r. Kavramlar aç ı s ı ndan da, bazen Bat ı literatüründeki rasyonalite ve Ortaça ğ gibi kavramlardan yo ğ un ş ekilde istifade etmi ş ; bazen de bizzat kendisinin özel anlam kazand ı rd ı ğ ı iktisat ahlâk ı -iktisat zihniyeti gibi kavramlar ı kullanm ı ş t ı r. Bu çal ı ş ma, Ülgener’in iktisadi zihniyetle ilgili ortaya koydu ğ u eserlerin bir hülasas ı n ı sunmay ı amaç- lamaktad ı r. Çal ı ş mada, Ülgener’in yöntemi, kulland ı ğ ı kaynaklar ve kavramlar ı ile ula ş t ı ğ ı sonuçlar ı n tutarl ı l ı ğ ı ve do ğ rulu ğ u ele ş tirel bir tarzda ele al ı nm ı ş t ı r.
